  5. Monday 15th May Aberdeen Arts Centre Free from 7:30pm As part of the Aberdeen Word Fringe 2006 a Shetland night featuring talks and music from Donald Anderson (my old english teacher!) and Jillian Isbister. -- Jillian Isbister is a well established musician in Shetland and is fast making waves on the mainland. At only 17 years of age she has already played over 100 gigs in Shetland, and festivals on the mainland including Celtic Connections in Glasgow where she won a Danny award in 2005, one of only 6 awarded each year to newcomers from all over the world. As a result of this she was invited back to perform in 2006, and ended up with 9 performances over the 3 weeks! One of these performances gave her the opportunity to perform alongside Eddi Reader and her band. Jillian also provided musical interludes for Iain Anderson in Conversation. Jillian has just released a 4 track EP entitled My Smaa Temple, with a title track for which she wrote the music and Marie Williamson wrote the lyrics. Marie, from Shetland, is a very talented songwriter and pens most of the original material that Jillian performs. Tracks from this EP have received radio play, both locally and on Radio Scotland. Donald Anderson released his debut CD, Waterhead Sky in May 2005. He lives in a small village on the west coast of Shetland and has been playing guitar, singing and writing songs for at least twenty years. Currently, Donald is preparing to play at the Shetland Blues Festival with his band, The Donald Anderson Band. He has made numerous appearances at the Shetland Folk Festival over the last decade, both as a solo performer and as a member of the Shining Pool. He received excellent reviews in the press and Iain Anderson has played tracks from the album on his show on BBC Radio Scotland.
  6. Unkle Bob return to Aberdeen on June 8th at The Tunnels in promotion of their new single "Too Many People" released on June 19th (just put back from the 5th). Have a listen - http://www.myspace.com/unklebobband Support from Delawair and Kathryn Sawers For Unkle Bob, sell-out shows across Scotland (The Liquid Rooms, the Arches and King Tut's), 2 successive performances at the T IN THE PARK festival, and airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Scotland, Beat 106 form only part of the excitement that has built around a very promising young band. Unkle Bob will bring out the starry eyed idealist in all of you! (The List 04) Influenced by the mighty singer-songwriters of the early 70s like Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Tim Buckley, Cat Stevens, John Martyn, Carole King, and Neil Young; Unkle Bob are an acoustic 5-piece making use of guitars, banjo, mandolin, double bass, piano, organ, tabla, djembe, percussion and singer Rick Websters remarkably expressive voice. The Bob have a singer who sounds like Nick Drake whispering secrets into Ray Davies' ear. The Scotsman (July 04) Their sound has been descirbed as "the musical equivalent of the last warm bath you'd take before cutting your wrists" (Guardian), but they insist that it is all about the writing of good songs. Masterminded from a laptop in a tenement flat in Glasgow, and bucking the current trend for decibel-addiction instead prefering their own brand of melancholic indie-folk, Unkle Bob are champions of independent music making. Through their own label Friendly Sounds, several home-grown releases have received much critical acclaim. "In a world looking for the next fashion, the outstanding Unkle Bob might well turn out to be the norm The List 50 Best Scottish bands of all Time (New Talent) Following an excellent debut 9-track album and a debut EP "THe Hit Parade", "Too Many People" is the first single from their forthcoming debut album. "[The Hit Parade EP] shows astonishing potential for songwriting that is genuinely moving." Music Week (March 05) www.vocoustics.com www.myspace.com/vocoustics
